Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of United Communes of Drasia is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 345 million United Communes of Drasians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 52.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant United Communes of Drasian economy, worth 7.76 trillion Drás a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Soda Sales, Pizza Delivery, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 22,493 Drás, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, Mr Happy's Funland has just been named United Communes of Drasia's new capital, acute politicians deride opposition members for being obtuse, and funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience. Crime is totally unknown. United Communes of Drasia's national animal is the Human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

United Communes of Drasia is ranked 98,992^nd in the world and 5,057^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.99 law-abiding acts per hour.
